PAPER #2: PEER REVIEW

Read and mark your partner's paper. As you read and mark, note the following:

• Areas that are strong (evidence, clarity of point, analysis, transitions, quote and formating mechanics)
• Areas that could be improved:
  • Opening lines that don't grab you
  • Unclear thesis
  • Unfocused paragraphs
  • Weak transitions
  • Typos/grammar errors
  • Quote mechanics (signal phrase, quotation, citation, discussion)
  • Underdeveloped evidence or analysis of the evidence
  • Weak conclusion

Then write your partner at least a full paragraph discussing what works and what needs improvement as the paper is finalized.
